Our Event
We founded a non-profit organisation called Blue Dragon Events, where we host an annual event to support the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation. Through silent auctions and clothing sales, we raise additional funds to support this vital cause.
Our mission began after a life-changing visit to Vietnam, where we were inspired by meeting Do Duy Vi, the CEO of Blue Dragon, who was once a street child himself. Moved by the incredible work being done by the foundation, we are committed to raising £100,000 in 2024. Our goal is to increase both awareness and financial support in the UK for Blue Dragon, a grassroots charity established in 2003 that is dedicated to ending human trafficking in Vietnam.
Blue Dragon rescues and cares for victims of human trafficking and children at risk, such as street children, kids with disabilities, and those from impoverished families. They provide emergency responses and prevent trafficking through education, family livelihoods, community training, and law advocacy. By July 2024, Blue Dragon Rescued 1,594 people from trafficking, Represented 285 people in court cases, Sent 6,396 kids back to school & training , Provided shelter to 1,815 girls & boys , Placed 466 teens in jobs , Served 687,023 meals , Built 269 homes for families, Reunited 810 runaways with their families, Obtained legal papers for 13,553 people
Our event aims to build a strong network of 6th formers from various schools across England, offering them a chance to learn about global issues while engaging in meaningful fundraising. Participants will have the opportunity to win exciting prizes, including trips to Vietnam, where they can explore different cultures and witness firsthand the impact of their efforts. Join us in making a difference. Together, we can empower vulnerable children and contribute to a world free from human trafficking. We aim make this an annual event, uniting communities and creating lasting change.
